Glamorous Veuve Clicquot champagne lounge & gastrobar by acclaimed French restaurant Le Beaulieu
UPDATE: LE BEAULIEU CLOSED JUNE 2105
March 18th, 2014
Launched in November 2013, Le Bar by Le Beaulieu introduced to Bangkok the refined concept of a champagne lounge and gastrobar. Bangkok’s renowned French fine dining institution- Le Beaulieu– have transformed an outdoor terrace area adjacent to the restaurant into a glamorous yet relaxed space for evening drinks and casual gourmet dining. With its glassed in, conservatory style indoor space, and casual outdoor zone at the entrance, Le Bar offers an upscale environment for social gatherings- either for drinks and tapas-style gastro bites, or as a more laid-back dining destination than the parent Le Beaulieu restaurant next door. The inspired partnership with the famed Veuve Clicquot champagne house has created Bangkok’s premier champagne gastrobar, pairing the sublime champagnes of Veuve Clicquot with the acclaimed French cuisine of Le Beaulieu’s celebrity Chef Hervé Frerard.
Le Bar gastronomy & drinks
Under the direction of Chef Hevré – the culinary team in the open kitchen of Le Bar turn out delightful French-accented gastrobar dishes that have been crafted to pair pleasingly with both champagnes, and the delightful signature cocktails and extensive wine list of Le Bar. Combining years of global cooking experience with his solid grounding in classical French cooking technique, Chef Hevré has garnered an illustrious status among the exponents of fine French gastronomy in Thailand for the duration of the 14 plus years he has cooked and resided in Thailand. For the more laid-back aesthetic of Le Bar, the tapas-style menu created by Chef Hevré features a number of his creative signature dishes, plus more familiar gastrobar style comfort dishes such as salads, charcuterie, and rotissoire. A standout accompaniment for special champagne celebrations is the signature Royal Seafood Platter.
Splendid champagne-inflected cocktails complement the extensive selection of Veuve Clicquot champagnes- with a further concise assemblage of sumptuous signature cocktails skillfully crafted by the bartenders. Additionally, an impressive wine list offers selections by the glass and bottle, and a full bar service includes premium spirits and beers.
On weekend nights resident DJs provide a dialed-back lounge experience, with regular promotions and themed events adding further enticements.
